You might have noticed a lack of posts the last few weeks. We’ve been in Iceland on a photography tour and decided to add 2 days at the end of our trip to try fly fishing the Iceland highlands. I’ll share our short fly fishing experience, fishing for Arctic Char. I booked this fly fishing…
It won’t be long now before Green Drake mayflies are hatching on my favorite river. I pulled out my Green Drake fly box and noticed it needed a little help. In today’s post, I’m cleaning out a fly box and getting ready for the upcoming hatch. I’ll share the process I use to refresh, sort,…
I’ve been on the Big Island of Hawaii and will head home this week. It has been a while since I fly fished and decided to look at pictures I took of insects over the past three years to prepare myself for what hatches to expect when I return. What I found were lots of…
We’ve been back from fly fishing in Chile for several weeks, but I wanted to share some final images from Chile. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I love finding these prominent blue spots on Brown trout! Here is a view of Torres del Paine National Park from our hotel room…
I returned to the river for the first time since returning from Patagonia. Yes, it’s been a while! It felt strange to be on the river. How long has it been since you’ve been on the water? If it’s been a while, are you ready to fish? I thought I was. I took a few…
In this week’s post, I thought I’d share some final images from Argentina. We spent a week fly fishing in Argentina at Chochoy Mallin lodge with SET Fly Fishing. A week later, we found ourselves in southern Chile fly fishing with Rumbo Patagon. Between these fly fishing weeks, we travelled by boat and bus through…
One of the reasons we travelled to Chile and fish in southern Patagonia was because of the scenery. Yes, catching Brown trout was the goal, but why not fly fish in a beautiful place? On this day, fly fishing the Rio Baguales with Rumbo Patagon was our destination and Torres del Paine was in full…
On two of our days at Rumbo Patagon, we ended up fly fishing the Rio Penitente in southern Chile. This was a terrific river to walk and wade as we fished for Brown trout. As you can tell from the image above, the river flows through a wide valley, which made it quite easy to…
Today’s a milestone for me. Know why? RiverKeeper Flies turned 10 years old on March 5! That’s right, I’ve been at the keyboard writing these posts for 10 years. It’s hard for me to believe where my journey has taken me. It began with only a one paragraph post and no photograph: “The NW Fly…
After spending a week fishing in Argentina, we travelled into Chile and slowly made our way to Puerto Natales in southern Chile for the inaugural season with Rumbo Patagon. We were excited to visit the Puerto Natales area. It is home to Torres del Paine National Park, a spectacular visual experience of the Andes mountains…
